on the door, Nj. Beecher having al
ways objected to the use OF this and
the gloom associated with 1t in the

nifcent wreath OF howers hung from
the left side OF the doorway at the top
OF the stoop, composed Of red and
white roses and lilies Of the valley,
and tied up with white satin. At
10: 80 IL was given out that the funeral
would take place In Greenwood on
